I'm not sure if I would “like” to answer it, because the answer isn't encouraging. Since 2006, there has been no improvement in the trades in Manitoba. Remember, when we talk about trades, we're not talking about cooking or hairdressing. When you remove those traditional female roles, no, there hasn't been any improvement. A lot of the folks who we work with around the trades are struggling in terms of increasing numbers and acceptance. For whatever reason, which we can't really speak to at this point, Manitoba has a lower participation rate in the trades than does even Saskatchewan next door; you know, kind of a Prairie environment as well. It's a troubling situation.
